38 weeks.... officially ready to pop

so im sitting here... uncomfortable just praying that the next kick i get in the ribs, doesnt break it. Yes, its official. IM MISERABLE!!. Im done working, I have everything set up, organized, packed and cleaned. So now all I have left to do.....is wait. MY weekly appts have become the highlight of my week... and for those who has been checked, and know how not fun that really is.... you see how bored i am!! At my last appt, I was 2 cm dialated, and about 25% effaced. PRogress!!!! This wednesday their stripping my membranes just to jump start things. The Dr. said if the baby is ready, labor could start within 48 hours of stripping them. EEEK!! Which means if everything goes how i pray (but dont plan on).. I could spent thanksgiving in labor!! but lets not get ahead of ourselves... my body does nothing fast so chances are, Ill see the month of November come and go and still have no baby!!!! mmm

 

How far along: 38 weeks!!

 

Total weight gain: I honestly can't say... i stopped looking at the scale weeks ago... all i know is the Dr. says im still on the low side of normal.

 

Maternity clothes: you know your ready to be done... when your sweats are getting tight (due to babys position, not my weight)

 

Stretch marks: nope!! Unfortuanley... I developed some clear up high on the back of my thighs.... depressing thought- "my thighs have expanded enough to get stretch marks?" But still none on my stomach!!

 

Sleep: what is sleep?? I dont get any anymore... except during the day when i just pass out from lack of!

 

Best moment of this week: being done with work, and my dr. appt hopefully gets things going!!

 

Miss anything: going to a store and not having a stranger touch my stomach or want to know my whole life story.

 

Movement: hes become a violent little one!!

 

Food Cravings: if its food... ill eat it.

 

Anything make you queasy or sick: not anymore...

 

Labor signs: Im dialated, and effaced... and contractions are muchmore painful and frequent.

 

Belly button, in or out: just flat.

 

Wedding rings, on or off: i dont remember what it looks like!! jk

 

Happy or Moody most of the time: im not nice... my poor husband is a trooper.
